Aston Villa v Reading Pre-Match Thread

[Deano's Mullet]

Our best victory of the season  4-1  Kodja hatrick and Hogan scoring  at the Holte End.

Ive been to a few games this season, in the Holte, and can't remember off hand how many we've scored in to us, not fkn many, if my memory's up to speed.
How many have we actually scored at the Holte End out of the paltry 30 we've scored?

I've been to seven home games this season and seen eleven Villa goals, four of them at the Holte. I think overall we've scored more at The North Stand this season. Only seen two goals against.

[Deano's Mullet]

If Kodjia plays we'll win. If not I can see it being a 1-1. Hopefully Reading will be completely shell shocked after the Norwich game.

Us 7 Them 1

Finally a game I can get to! Hooray... 0-0

[Mortimer's Bear]

3-0 home victory, don't care who scores.

Apologies if covered elsewhere, but why is it being played on Saturday?

[QuintonVilla]

2-2

I remember one Good Friday game approx 18yrs ago. We played West Ham at home and decided this would be the day I would tell my Mom that my then Girlfriend was pregnant. She wasn't to happy about it and I was so glad I was going to the game literally seconds after I told her. That's what you get from being the No2 son.

I remember going to that game. Is was during Gregory's season of 2 halves IIRC. We may even have ended our epic post Xmas losing run by then and started to win a few games including that one.

I was also wondering why we're playing on Saturday and everyone else is playing Friday

[Deano's Mullet]

Any news on Kodjia's injury yet?

Me too, it's very strange, but also puts us at a disadvantage Monday by having to play twice in 48 hours.

Now the faint hope of play offs are over, id love to see Green, Bree, Grealish and RHM given a run till the end of the season. I'm sure we can do without Hutton, Amavi and Bacuna from now until May.

Nah. Reading on the rebound and we run out of luck. 0-2.

I've read elsewhere that it's to do with the church.

Villa home win 2-1. Personally I do not think any games should be played on a Good Friday or Easter Monday.
